Primo

primo does one thing consistently well: it keeps people coming back. that's harder than it sounds, especially for an independent on carlton hill, where you're not riding foot traffic from a city centre crowd. the regulars here aren't passing through, they're making a point of showing up, which says something about what primo has built over time. if you're in arnold or cutting through ng4, this is the kind of place worth slowing down for rather than saving for later. no fuss, no performance, just coffee taken seriously by people who mean it. the morning slot on carlton hill, flat white in hand, is a reasonable argument for getting out of the house early.
